Mike Campbell's legacy as part of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers is secure, but he is forging new path with own band

Article content 'It's a compliment, but my intention is to find my own voice, which I have,' he says. 'I have a lot of the same inflections and cadences as Tom because we grew up in the same part of Florida. I consciously made an effort to not sound like him the best I can. Sometimes I do anyway, but mostly I sound like myself now.' While Campbell's journey with Petty – outlined in his recent book Heartbreaker: A Memoir – is what he is best known for, it's hardly the entire story. Campbell also worked with Don Henley, co-writing The Heart of the Matter and Boys of Summer; worked extensively with Stevie Nicks, co-writing her hit Stop Draggin' My Heart Around with Petty; and played on Bob Dylan records such as Empire Burlesque and Knocked Out Loaded.
